The author then invokes Robert Stalnaker to clarify the difference between real and actual objects, which gives new insight into the epistemology of abstract objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArmed with defined abstract objects, the reader is taken through a fascinating journey from 1890s aestheticism to present-day phenomenological aesthetics. The book clearly establishes principles and methods for defining works of art, and applies them to two versions of a Henry James novella. The clear definitions and inventive methods, supported with impressive, detailed research, lead to compelling and well-taken conclusions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis journey pays off with important and exciting results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Rose-Coutré\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0595416861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595416868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.20d","brand":"Robert Rose-Coutré","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48441111249151,"sku":"9780595416868","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_674af21d-1605-4c5a-b969-d46aba55af10.jpg?v=1777188760","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/abstract-objects-ideal-forms-and-robert-rose-coutrzs-9780595416868","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
